A Damp and Blustery Start for Marten Falls as Showers Slowly Taper
Residents of Marten Falls and Ogoki Post are waking up to a grey and misty morning this Monday, with damp conditions and gusty winds already shaping the day. Showers are expected to gradually ease, but the weather will remain unsettled through much of the day with the chance of more rain and a rumble of thunder in the mix.
Current Conditions and Forecast Details
As of 6:13 AM EDT, the temperature sits at a brisk 6.4°C with 100% humidity, ensuring everything from your porch to your boots feels soggy. Visibility is limited to 8 km due to mist, and winds are from the east at 11 km/h, expected to pick up as the morning progresses. Barometric pressure is 100.9 kPa and steady, indicating today’s weather will likely linger for a while.
The morning showers are expected to taper off, leaving behind cloudy skies and a 60% chance of additional showers throughout the day. There’s also a risk of a thunderstorm early this morning, so keep your rain gear close and your ears perked for thunder. Winds will increase out of the east at 30 km/h, gusting to 50, making it a rather breezy and chilly afternoon with a high of just 18°C. The UV index sits at 3, considered moderate, so you’ll get a break from the sunscreen for now.
Tonight and Tuesday – A Gradual Shift
The unsettled skies will continue tonight with a 40% chance of showers, and winds swinging to the west at 30 km/h, gusting to 50. The overnight low drops to 8°C, so you might want to throw an extra blanket on the bed tonight.

Temperatures will climb only slightly to a high of 16°C, with a UV index of 6, which is considered high — so sunshine will make a more confident return, just in time to dry things out.

Looking ahead to Wednesday, a similar pattern continues: a mix of sun and cloud, with a 40% chance of showers, and a rebound to a high of 23°C. It’ll finally start to feel a bit more like summer again.
Wardrobe and Weather Wisdom
Bundle up in layers and a waterproof jacket today, and don’t forget a windbreaker — gusty conditions will add a bite to the already chilly temperatures. Keep your umbrella handy, but be cautious in the wind. Best to wear waterproof footwear if you’re heading out on any trails or errands.
